Manoj lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Pune Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,250. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Manoj could go to school independently. It would change everyday life for the whole family. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,250 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,150 • Fitting and training sessions: $20 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $65 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
